Good luck. There have been many engines ruined by pieces of broken, or exploded glow plugs getting stuck in the piston tops. I've got one Isuzu and one GM 6.2 that both have some stuck broken glow-plugs in them. The Isuzu four starts well enough with three plugs, and the GM starts good enough with 6 out of 8. I'm leaving well-enough alone.
I know a guy that had a glow-plug tip break off in his 2.3 turbo Mitsubishi (Mazda-Perkins clone I think). Someone told him to crank the engine over and compression would blow the piece out. Nope. Got stuck in a piston and he had to pull the head off.
Best thing to do is curse a lot, and blame the guy that put them in without NeverSeize.
There is a special tool for getting out broken plugs, but it only works when some is still sticking out of the head.
